Crestwood Middle School

• ED has no 2022-23 chronic absence count for this school.
• ED’s own figures for 2022-23: 19.8% for its district and 24.7% for Iowa.

• A public middle school for grades 5 to 8.
• Open in NCES’s 2025-26 directory, which is still preliminary.
• In 2024-25, 49% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, 139 of the 283 enrolled on October 1: 124 for free lunch and 15 for reduced-price.
• NCES’s 2021-22 estimates of poverty around schools don’t include this one.

What the school reported to the Office for Civil Rights for 2023-24. These are the school’s own counts, not findings.

• Among the 12 nearest public middle schools in Iowa, within 48.0 miles, the middle value for chronic absence in 2022-23 was 14.0%; ED has no figure for this one.
• Students per teacher in 2024-25, by NCES’s counts: 13.6 here; the middle value among them was 15.2.

• Run by Howard-Winneshiek Comm School District, its local education agency in NCES’s directory.
• District spending, fiscal year 2024: Howard-Winneshiek Comm School District spent $15,077 per student, by the Census Bureau’s count of the district’s spending and its 1,058 students, of which $9,310 went on instruction and $4,941 on support services such as administration, buildings and transport.
• That is the district’s figure across all its schools, not this school’s own: its day-to-day spending on salaries, benefits, services and supplies, not on construction, equipment, debt or payments to other school systems.

• Federal school data don’t record findings against a school: the counts here are what the school reported, and the Office for Civil Rights’ own investigations aren’t included.

• Federal school data arrive one to three years after the school year they describe, so each figure here carries its own year.
• To protect students’ privacy, ED adds or takes away one at random from chronic absence counts of four or fewer, so a small count may be one off.
• ED publishes each school’s test results in reading and language arts and in mathematics, but they aren’t loaded here yet.
